"One destroyer landed
its tows yet further north, in the same enclosed semi-circle, but near
to the foot of Walker's Ridge. These carried half a company of the 11th
under Captain Tulloch and some of Captain Lalor's company of the
12th under lieutenant E. Y. Butler. A machine-gun on some height beyond
Walker's Ridge was playing on them."

History of Australia in the war of 1914-1918, The Story of Anzac,

1915 (source 1)

"Lalor was by
nature the last officer in the force to sit still and do nothing in so
critical a fight. The grandson of Peter Lalor, who led the only
armed revolt that ever occurred in Australian history - the insurrection
at Eureka Stockade on the Victorian goldfields - and the son of a
doctor, he enlisted as a boy in the British Navy; deserted from that
service; joined the French Foreign Legion; fought through a South
American revolution; and finally was appointed to the permanent forces
in Australia. As an aide-de-camp in Western Australia he had more than
one interesting meeting with naval officers, who little dreamed of his
story. He carried with intense pride a family sword, from which he
would not be parted. He had it with him - in spite of all regulations -
on this morning at The Nek, its bright hilt wrapped in khaki cloth."

"Morshead made his
platoon left form and move across to Lalor's left. Lalor
waved his hand, and moved his own line to join Morshead's. Fire was
coming from the lower knolls down by the beach. Lalor stood up
to see, and resolved to charge forward.

"Now then, 12th
Battalion," he cried; and, as he said the words, a Turkish bullet killed
him."
